a complete application form

[epistolario]

Let's say you are required to submit, among others, an application form. But you must fill out all the required fields, except those that do not apply to your circumstance. In that case, you must write n/a in those fields. A friend or relative of yours is asking for the requirements. Please confirm if you can say any of the following:

a) You need to submit a complete application form, among others.​

b) You need to submit a completely filled out application form, among others.​

c) You need to submit a filled out application form, among others.​

Please confirm if you can say any of the following:

a) You need to submit a complete application form, among others.b) You need to submit a completely filled out application form, among others.c) You need to submit a filled out application form, among others.

All of these options are possible. A complete application form should be enough.

And you could say,
You need to submit a (fully) completed application form.

 

[Tegs]

I prefer "a completed application form" to "a complete application form".

"A completed form" means one where all the relevant questions are answered. "A complete form" means one with all the pages included.

For logical reasons, I don't like a, b, or c.
If you're submitting an application form, I think it goes without saying that you would fill it out completely.
For that reason, I would simply say:
You need to submit an application form.

If you really insist on stating what I think is the obvious, I would say:
You need to fully complete and submit an application form.
OR: You need to submit a fully completed application form.

 

[elroy]

You need to (complete and) submit the application form.

I think the part in parentheses can be omitted. It can be assumed that the application form needs to be completed before being submitted.
